The Sparco Gulf Icon Racing Gaming Chair Now Available
Gaming chair news, October 2025
The Sparco Gulf Icon Racing Gaming Chair is now available from us. It takes Sparco's Icon chair and dresses it in one of the most recognised liveries in racing: navy blue vinyl with the Gulf logo on the backrest.
It is a racing style seat built as a gaming and office chair, with armrests, a height adjustable swivel base and a reclining backrest. That makes it as much at home at a work desk as it is in front of a sim rig.

What is on this page
Gulf and motorsport
Gulf’s blue and orange colours are among the best known in motorsport. They have appeared on some of the most famous race cars ever built, from the Ford GT40s that won Le Mans in the late 1960s to endurance and GT cars since. For a lot of fans, that livery simply means racing.
Sparco is known for FIA approved seats, race suits and equipment used across motorsport, so putting the two names together on a chair makes sense. It is a way to bring a piece of that heritage into a room at home, on something you actually use every day.
About the Sparco Gulf Icon chair
The Gulf Icon is Sparco's Icon gaming and office chair, trimmed in navy blue vinyl with the Gulf logo on the backrest. It has the sculpted shape and side support of a racing seat, with the adjustments you need for long sessions at a desk.
The backrest reclines on the seat's own mechanism against a fixed cushion. That is the movement a car seat gives you and an ordinary task chair does not: you can sit upright to work and lean back without the whole chair tipping under you. Sparco say it reclines and locks up to 150 degrees, with adjustable lumbar support.
The vinyl wipes clean, which matters more in a room where people eat at the desk than it does in a car.
Key features:
- Sparco Icon chair in Gulf colours
- Navy blue vinyl with the Gulf logo on the backrest
- Reclining backrest with adjustable lumbar support
- Armrests fitted, adjustable up, down, forwards and back
- Height adjustable swivel base
- A lower, wider seat for comfort
Why this chair stands out
The Gulf Icon bridges motorsport design and everyday use. You get the look and support of a racing seat with the practicality of a desk chair, and it is built for long sessions, whether that is a sim race or a working day.
It is also one of the few racing chairs that does not look like a gaming chair. The Gulf colours are a motorsport reference, not a stripe of neon down a black shell, so it suits a home office or a study as well as a games room.
It is a chair, not a car seat, so there is no frame, no adaptor plate and nothing to convert. It arrives as one item. Garreth’s advice for anyone choosing between chairs is to think about how long you sit each day: if it is hours at a time, the reclining back and adjustable armrests are worth having.
Sparco Icon alternatives
If you like the Gulf Icon but want a different look, the same chair comes in other finishes.
The Sparco Icon Martini Racing Gaming Chair uses the same shape but celebrates another famous racing name, with the Martini Racing stripes of blue, red and white. It has just as much heritage behind it and a very different look.
For something cleaner, the plain Sparco Icon Gaming Chair comes in vinyl in a choice of colours. It keeps the Sparco racing shape with a simpler finish that sits well in a professional or minimal space, and it has the same key features.
